    Really good game. Try it yourself, ignore the bad reviews. I never played anything like this before, very unique.

    This game was a joy to play, the main character was great and the voice actor did a great job. The game play was fun with different ways to approach different situations. Based on the trailers wasn't sure what to expect for sure, but was a pleasant surprise nonetheless.

    This game is a lot of fun and an interesting take on Immersive Sims. At face value repeating the same maps over and over again can sound like it will get boring, but it doesn't.

Every loop is a chance to improve your approach and change up your weapons/powers/equipment. This is really refreshing because often in Immersive Sims you are silently encouraged to find a playstyle and stick to it. In Deathloop you are completely free to try any approach you want because even if it doesn't go to plan you'll have another shot the next day. Throw in the random invasions from Juliana and every loop feels unique.

    The story is fun and engaging, however the ending feels rushed, leaving you wishing there had been a little more time spent wrapping things up. There are a few bugs, most notably a menu lockup that can happen (I experienced it twice during my playthrough). When this happens during a run you will lose all progress on the current map (the game only saves between maps). This was a little frustrating, but it's something I'm sure will be fixed soon.    … Expand

    Este juego es muy Impresionante... Me recuerda mucho a Dishonored en ciertas mecánicas, la gráficos, la Historia es bastante sólida y profunda. Tiene una traducción al español muy buena. Este estudio tiene un Gran Futuro,muy Bien por la gente de Arkan Studios

    The added multiplayer function of this game is something I really like. It can be punishing to play the level and then be killed and have to loop back to do it again, but you then get to find new ways to approach the level. Deathloop has been a great experience for me so far and look forward to the rest of the game.

    The game is amazing and fun! The characters (Colt and Julianna) are charismatic and the plot is slightly immersive! The art direction is spectacular, mainly for the cutscenes...and the soundtrack too! The gameplay is great and I didn't have any problems. It had been a while since I had fun like this.

    It is a very stylish but also very frustrating game.

    1) Go play Hitman 3 or Dishonored if you want gameplay freedom.
    2) Go play Outer Wilds if you want systematic, story-driven, time-loop gameplay.

    Easily the best Arkane game, extremely well-written story and gameplay that combines the best of Prey and Dishonored with some of the best characters and dialogue ever in a video game. Also makes excellent use of the PS5’s Dualsense features. Extremely replayable and can’t wait for a second run.

    Deathloop is a great amalgimation of Arkane Studio's ideas over the years. You can find a little of something from all their games in this title. You have Dishonored's stealth mechanics, abilities and unique style, Wolfenstein's excellent gunplay, Prey's storytelling with themes of memory and consequences.

You can find a little of something from all their games in this title. You have Dishonored's stealth mechanics, abilities and unique style, Wolfenstein's excellent gunplay, Prey's storytelling with themes of memory and consequences. It all boils together into an impressive and unique title that really makes you feel like a detective as you try to break the loop. Colt and Julianna's back and forth is amazing and natural, and really pits them as quite impressive rivals of each other with different goals. My favorite part is they both make excellent points to support both of their arguments, leaving it up to the player as to who is right. Solving the loop and figuring out the puzzle of how to kill all of the Visionaries is fantastic, and the infusion system making it so you don't have to completely start over from scratch like in Returnal makes the formulaic looping not get boring or frustrating. My main issue with the game though is the levels themselves. There are only four with differences between the same levels depending on the day which isn't too bad, however I feel that when it comes to this type of game they need to be REALLY interesting. Arkane has amazing level design and that didn't change here, but it didn't show to be exemplary. They are intricate, but other than Updaam they didn't really feel unique or crazy. Dishonored 2 had amazingly unique levels like The Clockwerk Mansion or Jindosh's Mansion where you were jumping between two worlds in time or you would pull a switch to change the entire layout of a room. That just didn't happen with a lot of areas in this game. As for the multiplayer component I will admit I didn't really have an interest in using it, and so the AI Julianna I ran into was either too difficult and killed you immediately or too easy and didn't offer the scary challenge it should be. That is my decision for playing single-player but it should've been developed so she didn't feel like any other NPC. Another issue I had was that I didn't really feel like I had the 'choice' to go in guns blazing like they implied. It isn't as 'play-your-own-way' as they imply. You need to play into the stealth a little bit because NPC's mow you down. And while there are health drinks and stations around, you don't actually have any medkits to heal on the fly so you can take damage and stay in the fight. That would've been something to look into including, since health regeneration only does so much. Having to connect to Bethesda's Launcher, I did find it annoying because I connected the wrong account and there is no way to easily unlink it sothat is fun, but it didn't count against my score. Playing as Julianna is fun too, especially if you go into it as a long-play and don't try to just kill Colt immediately head-on a few times. It emphasizes you playing Julianna as stealthy as you can rather than fighting Colt head-on, and offering outfits for ranking up instead of forcing microtransactions was a nice change of pace, especially with how nice they all look. Overall though this is a very creative and unique stealth game with good gameplay and some issues going on regarding the level design and AI but has a lot of fantastic redeeming qualities.… Expand

    Overall, I like this game a lot. Though if you're like me and are a bit of a completionist, I would recommend putting those urges on hold until you've completed at least 1 day-cycle and gain the ability to keep certain items of your choosing. At the end of the first day, you will be forced to lose all your items, so don't even worry about exploration until then.

    I did have a few bugs, I have to say, this game feels unpolished. There were multiple graphical glitches, and I even had one crash, which was frustrating. I definitely don't agree with this being a 10/10 game. My honest opinion is 7/10, but I'm giving it an 8 because I think it's worth playing and I feel like review-bombers have done quite a bit to bias the true user score.

    The gameplay mechanics are great, I like this new take on gaming which encourages thinking in combination with desstruction, but I suspect that the gameplay might become repetitive, we'll see.    … Expand

    Deathloop offers well-designed stealth levels under the core gameplay of Roguelike. At the same time, the variety of weapons and special powers also support the exciting combat. Julianna's "invasion" adds the uncertainty of the game, but may also spoil the player's experience.

    I’m honestly surprised, because I did not expect to have so much fun with Deathloop. It draws some gameplay ideas from Dishonored, but introduces time-related mechanics, offers an intriguing story with interesting characters and has its own unique and coherent style. It’s an original game, full of surprises and addictive, but not necessarily easily digestible for everyone. For me however it’s one of the best titles of 2021. [11/2021, p.22]

    Deathloop is Arkane at its best, combining its system-driven immersive-sim gameplay with a unique and fascinating story set-up. Excellent presentation and style, along with fantastic dialogue and character performances makes Deathloop one of the most innovative games in years and a valuable PS5 exclusive.
